just to update. when i bought this truck the speedometer didnt work. and during further inspection i found that the cable routing landed the cable sheath against the exhaust. so i attempted to repair the sheath and i used graphite to lube the cable. well lately the speedometer has been jumping around like crazy. so i checked it out tonight.

my findings: where i did the repair i found that the sheath has melted in some spots. so the graphite was obviously not lubricating like it should. so i used red hi-temp grease. and repaired the sheath again, but better this time. speedometer is working much better now.

sorry for the book.

benny, i measured the speedometer cable. its roughly 68". if you happen to see one that length during your yarding ventures, grab it for me. thanks man.

i haven't oiled or greased mine yet but it seemed fairly greasy when i had it out last. for me if the cable fails my backup plan is to go electrical. i got all the parts to make the electric speedo out of my 91 work in my 81 and it pretty much just bolts in.

Silicone grease and preferably the type used for fishing reels. Doesn't thicken at low temps, doesn't get sticky over time and high temps won't hurt it. It just takes a very light coating on the cable.
